Description

<p>  This paper is to explicate why schools wrote their school song based on the documents of the commission of musical composition at Tokyo Academy of Music, which is a collection of letters exchanged between schools and Tokyo Academy of Music. Tokyo Academy of Music received 456 commissions to write the school song during the period from 1907 to 1945. The schools began to make their school songs, though they were not obligated to and even needed the funds. Especially after 1930, the number of schools which asked Tokyo Academy of Music to write their school songs increased. The schools got “a superior school song” by commissioning Tokyo Academy of Music to write their school songs, and presented their school songs, each of which shows the motto and idea of the school, to the people outside the school at the school ceremonies. The school songs were used to express the ideas of each school by connecting the environment and virtues with the image of an ideal student, and were means to disseminate the schools’ identities.</p>
